God could have programmed us as robots to do whatever he tells us, but then we'd never have the freedom to love and worship him.

God often guides by what He doesn't provide.

God's Word instructs us, teaches us, guides us, encourages us, convicts us, and helps conform us to the image of Christ.

We don't have eternal life because we're good, we have it because God is good.

The key to success in any organization is identifying, developing, and empowering the right people.

You see, religion alone can only take a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an inward transformation. Religion focuses on what I do, while relationship centers on what Jesus did. Religion is about me. Relationship is about Jesus

As we're growing closer to God, I ask people to decide when God wants them to stay planted exactly where they are.
